NILFS2: A Slow But Dependable Linux File-System
More last place finishes for NILFS2... On an Intel solid-state drive, NILFS2 is a very slow file-system for Linux. Throughout all of the tests it was much slower than the seven other Linux file-systems. Generally the only competition for last place was between NILFS2 and ReiserFS. While NILFS2 doesn't hold any speed records, it does have interest by Linux users and particularly administrators for its continuous snapshotting that makes for easy recovery of deleted files and good state in case of system crashes.
